What are word classes? How can we recognize them? What role do they play in regards to punctuation? Grammar in Theory and in Practice was written for those who want straight answers, in plain English, to these crucial, yet rarely asked, questions.This essential guide empowers students to identify parts of speech rapidly, to employ punctuation marks confidently, and to examine syntax precisely, in four popular GCSE texts: Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, Frankenstein, and 1984. Grammatical categories are neatly defined in the glossary, and each chapter is packed with practical and demanding exercises, testing your knowledge of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. Topics range from the relatively simple, such as common pronoun errors or subject-verb agreement problems, to the somewhat complex, such as appositives, participles, or rhetorical devices. At the end of the course, there is a large punctuation section that revises the usage of commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, and apostrophes.

This English lesson looks at the different linking words which contrast, compare and establish cause and effect. Words such as 'due to'', 'consequently', 'so as', 'nevertheless', 'despite', 'although' and many others are examined in terms of their meaning and function. This is part of a course I am making for students taking the FCE exam, and this information will be especially useful for the writing and use of English papers.

This lesson focuses on the difference between gerunds and participles, and it also looks at some of the situations in which we use these forms. Both the present and past participles are examined in terms of their meaning and form.
PRESENT = ing form = ACTIVE
PAST = 3rd form = PASSIVE
Use them in:
1) Reduced relative clauses
2) Before a noun
3) After verbs of perception
Wait for lesson 2 for more uses of the participle.
